Bug 180931 – Totem (using gstreamer) compile freezes with gstreamer-0.10.x

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 179698
• Product: Portage Development

[Description a random fuzz 2007-06-05 05:59:16 UTC]

When compiling totem 1.4.2-r1 or later with gstreamer support using portage 2.1.2.2 or newer, the compile stalls when it checks for gstreamer support, and endlessly consumes memory until killed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use portage 2.1.2.2 or higher
2. Compile totem with gstreamer support enabled
Actual Results:  
Once totem's configure gets to "checking GStreamer 0.10 playbin plugin..." it stalls and the process "/usr/bin/gst-inspect-0.10 playbin" keeps consuming memory until I kill it and the emerge dies having not found gstreamer.

Expected Results:  
Gstreamer should be found and totem should continue compiling.

Totem compiles fine with portage 2.0.51.22-r3, 2.1.1-r2, and when done manually regardless of portage version with './configure -> make -> make install'.

I've also done 'emerge -eD portage' followed by 'emerge -eD totem' with all CBUILD/CFLAGS/CHOST/CXXFLAGS/MAKEOPTS settings in make.conf removed to the same result.

I'm unable to reproduce this problem with USE=-xine (to enable gstreamer support).  I don't see how the portage version could affect this at all.

[Comment 2 Jason Switzer 2007-06-12 13:55:32 UTC]

This is a duplicate of #179698. This is always reproducible, with or without the "-xine" USE flag.

[Comment 3 Zac Medico 2007-06-12 20:07:45 UTC]

Reassigning since this is clearly no fault of portage.
